I think if it really were a big issue with Christians, as you imply, then there would be more about it in the bible ... alas it is hardly and indirectly barely touched on. God basically just says be impartial...
Oh it is a big issue with Christians..they just try to hide it better than the average person.Get it??

We know it's alive and well everywhere else. Including the Church. We'd have to be naive to think not. This is where so many "Christians" fall short.We talk about "Once saved ..always saved" ..and discuss the LGBT lifestyle frequently . What about "Once a racist always a racist"?? or "Racist Christian comes out". Or "Should racists hold the same jobs as everyone else?" Or "Should Christians struggling with racism be ineligible for marriage?" But if we can not truly love regardless of race then a lot of us need to seriously ask ourselves "Is daily repentance necessary? " and "Why so fake?". Frankly I like what it says in Acts 10:34-35.."Then Peter opened his mouth and said "In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality."35.."But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him". And there's that word "works"again. All comments welcomed. Thanks.
it must be asked what is the definition of racism ? because the term is used to control those who speak what the Bible says about sexual sin specifically Homosexuality and fornication. a person who line him or herself with a sexual preference that is not accepted due to it's un- natural action and violation of Gods word is not racist. The world would have you think if you agree with Traditional Marriage your are intolerant. So one must explain what their personal understand of the term "Racism " is?

My sister, I always keep it real, no doubt. Here's some more:

Some individuals I like, some I dislike, but I pray for everyone that they may have a relationship with God in Jesus Christ and rejoice in the gift of salvation. However, I do not like special interest groups, and since I'm a straight, White, Christian man, every special interest group is against me, and because of this it instills within me un-Christian thoughts. Does that make me racist? I don't care either way.

I don't hear you saying that you dislike someone, or discriminate against someone simply because of their race....

Getting upset at groups that try to pigeon-hole you with "all those old white guys" is a normal reaction... at least it is to ME...

But I'm not gonna treat OTHER black, brown, gay, female, etc bad simply because SOME of them are idiots....

some old white guys are idiots, too.... :rolleyes: I've SEEN em...

I'm mixed race and I've never encountered racism or colour prejudice in any church I
have been in ever.

My current church has people from over 40-50 different nationalities.

See this thread - post 9 has a photo.

Maybe there are still some in the US who are within living memory of
slavery when racism was still common place? Maybe it is still within the traditions
of man?

I think for the UK at least, the issue goes further back in the past and with each new
generation it is becoming less of a problem. I have only encountered it in very old
people. Those who may be 80 +

It is well established that 11:00 Am Sunday morning is the most SEGREGATED hour in the USA.


​Incredible irony.
